The HomeLinkŠUniversal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink
ŠUniversal Transceiver:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink
Šwill retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink
ŠUniversal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
ŠUniversal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
Š” (P.2-51) .
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLinkŠUniversal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
CARGO LIGHT (Coupe models) TRUNK LIGHT (Roadster models) HomeLinkŠUNIVERSAL
TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)

reverse features as required by
federal safety standards. (These
standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after
April 1, 1982) . A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object in the
path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
. During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate
will open and close (if the transmit-
ter is within range) . Make sure that
people or objects are clear of the
garage door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink
ŠUniversal Transceiver.
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkŠ
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLinkŠbuttons, refer to
the HomeLinkŠweb site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink
Šfor quicker programming and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmit- ter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away from the
HomeLink
Šsurface, keeping the HomeLinkŠ
indicator light*1in view.

3. Press and hold the programmed HomeLinkŠ
button and observe the indicator light..If the indicator light*1is solid/contin-
uous, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the
HomeLink
Šbutton is pressed and re-
leased.
.If the indicator light*1blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a solid/
continuous light, continue with Steps 4-6
for a rolling code device. A second
person may make the following steps
easier. Use a ladder or other device. Do
not stand on your vehicle to perform the
next steps. 4. At the receiver located on the garage door
opener motor in the garage, locate the
“learn” or “smart” button (the name and
color of the button may vary by manufacturer
but it is usually located near where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the
unit) . If there is difficulty locating the button,
reference the garage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, you have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink
Šbutton for
two seconds and release. Repeat the
“press/hold/release” sequence up to 3
times to complete the programming pro-
cess. HomeLink
Šshould now activate your
rolling code equipped device.
7. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink
Šbut-
tons, refer to the HomeLinkŠweb site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkŠFOR CA-
NADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans-
mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be
long enough for HomeLink
Što pick up the signal
during programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming HomeLink
Š”
procedures, replace “Programming HomeLinkŠ”
Step 2 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously press
and hold the desired HomeLink
Šbutton and the
hand-held transmitter button. During program-
ming, your hand-held transmitter may automati-
cally stop transmitting. Continue to press and
hold the desired HomeLink
Šbutton while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until the fre-
quency signal has been learned. The HomeLink
Š

indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly
after several seconds upon successful program-
ming.DO NOT release until the HomeLink
Š
indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapid flashing
indicates successful programming.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
Š” step 3
to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLinkŠUNIVER-
SAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLinkŠUniversal Transceiver, after it is
programmed, can be used to activate the
programmed device. To operate, simply press
and release the appropriate programmed
HomeLink
ŠUniversal Transceiver button. The
amber indicator light will illuminate while the
signal is being transmitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of
the device may also be used at any time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOT-
ING
If the HomeLinkŠdoes not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
. replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
. position the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
Šsurface.
. press and hold both the HomeLinkŠand
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 in
(26-76 mm) away from the HomeLink
Š
surface. Hold the transmitter in that position
for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLinkŠis not
programmed within that time, try holding the
transmitter in another position - keeping the
indicator light in view at all times.
